The best drawing app

I’ve been using this app literally for 10 years. It’s extremely versatile and has so many uses, whether it’s editing pictures, layering pictures, drawing shapes and lines, stamping, almost anything you’d need - this app does that and so much more. An amazing value and an app I continue to go back to even after all these years.

Awesome app

Easiest all-in-one art app for beginners. Only gripe is that I wish there were more layer options… as well as an option to save as higher quality for blowing up/printing.

False advertising as a free app

There aren’t any features that are actually free. It’s free to download, but then any activity tries to push you for payment and does an automatic prompt to follow them on Instagram to exit out. Very predatory and annoying.
